Some gifts are simply worth the splurge — especially when timed around the holidays.

Yes, the small yet meaningful gifts matter, but sometimes, putting that extra effort (or money) into a present is really appreciated.

We’re not saying to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on diamonds (unless you’d like to, then by all means!). But saving up for an extra-special present with a higher price tag can really make your girl’s heart soar.

Below, shop some the best luxury gifts for your wife or girlfriend of 2026 ahead of Christmas and New Year’s.

As a marathon runner, I’m very picky about which tools I’m trusting to keep track of my pace on the course. This Garmin watch was my go-to during training all summer, and it has not let me down. It displays really clear, extensive metrics and tracks a variety of sports beyond classic running and biking.

The device also notably includes Forerunner 165 Music, which allows users to download playlists from third-party music providers.

Every girl deserves a glam upgrade! This multi-tasking device quickly smoothes, volumizes and dries strands without any heat damage. You can choose from three accessories, including a round brush, paddle brush and styling concentrator.

Commerce reporter and content strategist Victoria McDonnell swears by the product.

“As someone with Goldilocks-level hair that’s not too fine, nor too thick, the FlexStyle has become my go-to tool,” she said. “But I’ve seen friends with thick, curly hair use it with the diffuser and paddle brush and get great results too. It’s especially great if you want salon-style looks at home without spending a fortune or exposing your hair to extreme heat.”
